This is the result of two things coming together - my recent downloading of GIMP, and the impending AP tests this May.

Image

The text is simply the text of the original logo recolored; I modified the acorn icon a bit with a paintbrush tool to get the new icon, and I found an image of fire that I liked with a Google Images search. (Which I hope isn't plagiarism. I suppose that since I'm not making money off of it...?)
Edit: Replaced the fire image in the background with homemade fire.

Well, it could be copyright theft, but the fact that you're not making money from it might swing that to fair-use (probably best just to check if it's under a CC licence or something though), but it's only plagiarism if you present it as your own work, which you haven't done.

Thanks. But it certainly helps that I use a tablet to draw on the computer and not a mouse.

Is that a loincloth this fisherwoman is wearing?

If so, it's funny. Red is the most prominent color for loincloths on Tirga, too.

I dunno at what point does a loincloth stop being a loin cloth?
Looking at the wiki it seems to be more of a breechcloth. But it is longer than the examples given. Her's would go down past the knees.

Looks like I'm going to have to find a dropbox alternative if it won't even show pictures in imgs tags anymore. [:S]

After considering this some I decided to go back into GIMP and replace the stolen fire with some fire I made myself, made using the Color Gradient and Smudge tools. It's been edited into my earlier post. I am Prometheus no longer!

Stuff. And stuff.
And I'll dance with you in Vienna,
I'll be wearing a river's disguise;
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thigh...

Very impressive!
Does the "VOLGAR" mean Mushu Dragon is a Bulgar from Bulgaria or a Uighur from Uighuristan or what?

Hvala. And not quite... Volgar is one of the eighteen regions (Telèmor rejiõ, pl. rejione) of the Telèmor Federation, and I decided to have each page in the passport be decorated with a map highlighting the region and displaying the emblem/coat of arms as appropriate. Here's an example of an unused page highlighting some different regions:

Verse I:
These gods forged of tin, still clutching their crowns
Are coveting an empire that burns itself down.

Verse II:
It’s sickeningly simple, it’s always the same;
You rank politicians are playing your games.
For your amusement, we’ll dig our own graves,
A privilege for which, you’ll still make us pay.
The bright sun beats down, the earth reaches up,
But as it all falls asunder, you don’t give a fuck.
The hourglass is empty and your vulgar displays
Have summoned a demon with fire in its gaze.

Verse III:
I see the fork in your tongue, the apple in your throat.
I smell the vile lack of guilt amongst the ashes and the smoke.
I hear the catch in your breath, the stutter in your heart.
I’m the face in your mirror as it breaks apart.
You whisper my name into your guttering lights
As my approaching footfalls ring out in the night.

Bridge:
The very sky gives shape to scorn,
And the echoes die within the storm;
The turgid air’s still thick with fear,
But now there’s nothing left to hear.
The rake of claws distorts the mud,
Grotesque, distended ‘n’ full of blood,
But deafening in these halls of stone,
Is the silence of an empty throne.

Much better than anything I could make.

The only things I draw that I don't want to burn immediately after I draw them are penguins. They aren't realistic, but I like the way they look. I once filled up a page with drawings of penguins doing different things. The ones that said something spoke in Russian, with little speech bubbles above them. I looked it over, and it seems my Cyrillic handwriting doesn't look like an earthquake is occurring as I write anymore. As much as I'd like to show the paper here, I lost it in a drawer somewhere and I forgot which one I put it in. I'll look for it tomorrow and take a photo of it.

I also drew a flag. Using marker instead of a brush or even colored pencils ruined it. I might remake it, since it's not complicated to the point where I want to throw the brush at the wall.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
